No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
Verse 1:
C
It was the best of times, the worst of crimes
G
I struck a match and blew your mind
Dm
But I didn't mean it
F
And you didn't see it
C
The ties were black, the lies were white
G
In shades of gray in candlelight
Dm
I wanted to leave him
F
I needed a reason
Pre-Chorus:
C
X marks the spot where we fell apart
G
He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself
Dm
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
F
We never had a shot, gunshot in the dark
-Oh!-
Chorus:
C
You were drivin' the getaway car
G Dm
We were flyin', but we never get far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
F
Think about the place where you first met me
C
Ridin' in a getaway car
G Dm
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
I shoulda known I'd be the first to leave
F C
Think about the place where you first met me
G
In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh
Dm
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh
F
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
Verse 2:
C
It was the great escape, the prison break
G
The light of freedom on my face
Dm
But you weren't thinkin'
F
And I was just drinkin'
C G
Well, he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "go, go, go!"
Dm
But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow
And a circus ain't a love story
F
And now we're both sorry -we're both sorry-
Pre-Chorus:
C
X marks the spot where we fell apart
G
He poisoned the well, every man for himself
Dm
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
F
It hit you like a shot, gunshot to the heart
-Oh!-
Chorus:
C
You were drivin' the getaway car
G Dm
We were flyin', but we never get far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
F
Think about the place where you first met me
C
Ridin' in a getaway car
G Dm
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
I shoulda known I'd be the first to leave
F C
Think about the place where you first met me
G
In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh
Dm
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh
F
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
Bridge:
D A Em
We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde -oh-oh-

Until I switched to the other side
To the other si-i-i-i-ide
D A Em
It's no surprise I turned you in -oh-oh-
Gm
'Cause us traitors never win
D
I'm in a getaway car
A
I left you in a motel bar

Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys
G
That was the last time you ever saw me
-Oh!-
Chorus:
D
Drivin' the getaway car
A Em
We were flyin', but we never get far -don't pretend-
Don't pretend it's such a mystery

Think about the place where you first met me

Ridin' in a getaway car

There were sirens in the beat of your heart -should've known-
I shoulda' known I'd be the first to leave
G D
Think about the place where you first met me
A
In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh
Em
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh
G
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
